Library Research Questions for Bacteria Growth Experiment
Entity= bacteria:
What are the basic characteristics and forms of bacteria that reside in the human/dog/cat mouth?
How do these bacteria effect the host, are they helpful or harmful?
Independent variable:
How do you take bacterial samples from the mouths of animals?
Dependent variable:
Under what conditions and environment do bacteria grow/reproduce best and how can we prepare and control this environment (petri dish/agar/sterile)?
What are the most accurate ways to measure bacteria growth and represent our qualitative and quantitative results?
Connections:
Does the amount of bacteria in the mouth differ between humans, dogs, and cats?
